> If you have 30 offers within 2 days, but then reject them all waiting for another buyer, the buyer you wait for has to outbid the 30 previous buyers to make it worthwhile. my recollection from buying a house (even in the buyer's market of 2008? or 2009? eh), was that the seller had 7? days to accept/reject. so sellers now should be able to just accumulate a pile of offers, i'd think, before having to reject any? > They'd rather have 2 sales a week at 98% of max price than 1 sale a week at 100% of max price. well, that certainly makes sense. that extra 2% times their 7% probably isn't worth any risk, let alone screwing around further on your house when they could be moved on to the next one. in the end i expect a bunch of factors are contributing, and i'm expecting the explanation to be more satisfying than whatever reality is going to provide.
